Answer:
the correct amount
Explanation:
The pan balance has two pans . When the elevator is accelerating upward , the apparent weight of both objects placed on either pan increase . The net effect is that they cancel out the effect of accelerating elevator . Hence the apparent weight of salt remains same as and equal to its real weight.
In case of spring balance, its apparent weight would have increased . Its apparent weight would have measured more than its true weight.
